Answers:
Your washing machine should have a drain pipe that is connected to the backside of the machine... I believe you can take it down from its verticle position and let the water flow out like a syphon into a bowl. Make sure you unplug everything though so there is no electric current running in the machine.
Get a pot, and scoop it out.
No. Just get a bucket or cup and start bailing...
Small sump pump
This happened to me before as well. I used a water hose to siphon it out.
did you check your fuse box? what I do with mine is put the garden hose in it and make a vacuum in it and let it drain.
Check the plug, and then check the circuit breaker. It also might be the dial.
You will need a bucket and a plastic bowl and just scoop the water out. and when you get to the bottom, use a large sponge and wring it out and do it again, and again.
Sorry Sponge Bob.
I am having a very similar problem with my clothes washer. What I did is simply remove the outlet pipe from the drain system (if any) and lower the pipe outlet to a level below the wash drum. - This will cause the natural gravity to push the water to the lowest point (the drainpipe.)
Granted, you will need a seperate basin (I used an ice chest (I reasoned "it is plastic, so why not?")
GOOD LUCK finding a reasonable price for your repair part! My clothes washer is over 23 years old, and I have re-re-re-repaired this far too many times so I am tempting to buy a new replacement.
ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE APPRECIATED!
Before you try siphoning (which will empty it well), take a shot at getting it to empty itself.
See if there is a light on (like the fluorescent on the console) indicating there is power at the machine. If not check the circuit breaker/fuse is OK and also check that the GFCI is not tripped and that the plug has not vibrated out of the receptacle.
If the electric is OK the machine may have a failed control timer. See if you can turn it or use it to select spin. Getting into that part of the cycle could get the water out (and is a good indication of what might be wrong with the machine itself).
If the machine has power but is not doing anything, lift out the clothes and drop them into the basin or into a large pail. Then take them outside so you can wring them out and let them get reasonably dry before you pop them into the dryer. Now you have a tub of water that you are going to have to siphon out using a hose or one of those squeeze-the-bulb gas siphoners.
